Pupils enjoy coming to school, where they feel happy and safe. At Butterstile Primary School, pupils enjoy being part of a harmonious, warm and welcoming community. They are excited by their learning and they enjoy finding out new things. Pupils look forward to socialising with their classmates in the breakfast club. Pupils are confident that they can talk to a member of staff if they have any worries. Pupils alert staff to how they are feeling during daily ‘check-ins’. They are adamant that discriminatory behaviour, such as sexism and homophobic bullying, is always challenged by staff. Pupils are assured that, should bullying of any kind take place, staff will stop it from happening. Leaders deal with incidents of bullying swiftly and effectively. Leaders and staff expect pupils to be well behaved. Staff nurture pupils and expect them to achieve their best. Pupils respond positively to these expectations, which helps them to engage confidently in learning and achieve well in different areas of the curriculum. Leaders help pupils to become well-rounded and tolerant individuals. Pupils are encouraged to become caring, compassionate and active citizens. For example, pupils in Year 5 enjoy reading to elderly residents in a local care home. Pupils enjoy learning outdoors in the school’s wooded areas. They look forward to visits to museums and upcoming residential experiences.
